Our advantages
ADR Certified Fleet
For road freight, we utilize rolling stock with full ADR approval (EXII, EXIII, FL, AT). All drivers have completed specialized training and hold valid licenses. This guarantees that your ADR transport is executed in compliance with all safety requirements, including the presence of fire suppression systems and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Documents and MSDS Management
Safety begins with correct classification. Our experts analyze the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to accurately determine the UN number classification and Packing Group. We assist in preparing the DGD declaration and emergency instruction cards for drivers, ensuring seamless customs processing.
Correct Dangerous Goods Labeling
A single missing sticker can lead to vehicle impoundment. We meticulously control the application of hazard labels (diamonds) and orange plates on both the vehicle and the cargo units. If necessary, repacking and re-labeling are performed at our consolidation warehouses.
Multimodal Solutions
To ship chemicals from China or the Americas, we utilize sea freight in tank containers or standard boxes in compliance with the IMDG code. The cargo is then transferred to trucks or rail cargo for “door-to-door” delivery. This multimodal transport approach significantly optimizes your budget.
How Hazmat Shipping Is Organized
The process requires rigorous preliminary preparation and approval:
1. Cargo Audit
You provide the MSDS. We define the hazard class and verify the feasibility of the route.
2. Transport Selection
We select a vehicle with the appropriate permits and equipment.
3. Preparation
We check packaging integrity, apply markings, and issue transport notes (CMR with ADR stamps).
4. Transportation
Movement along an approved route (bypassing major cities and restricted tunnels) with final customs clearance.
Hazard Classes We Handle
Our competencies cover almost the entire spectrum of dangerous substances required by modern industry.
Chemical Logistics (Classes 3, 6, 8, 9)
Our most frequent request is the transport of chemicals for manufacturing and agriculture. This includes flammable liquids (paints, solvents), toxic substances, and corrosive liquids (acids, alkalis). For such goods, including liquid cargo, we organize Class 3 dangerous goods transport, utilizing both curtain-sided trucks (for drums and IBCs) and insulated trailers.
Lithium Battery Transport (Class 9)
With the rise of the EV market, shipping accumulators has become a complex specialized field. Lithium-ion batteries require specific temperature-controlled cargo environments and rigid packaging, as they are prone to self-ignition. We ensure strict compliance with specific Packing Instructions. (Note: We do not handle Class 1 explosives or Class 7 radioactive materials).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the original MSDS required?
For cost estimation, a scan is sufficient, but the MSDS must be current and translated into the languages of the transit countries. The driver is legally required to carry it during the trip.
Do you ship hazardous goods via groupage?
Yes, we provide LTL trucking for hazardous items, but with restrictions. We must adhere to the compatibility table; for example, food products cannot be stowed next to toxic substances.
What is a UN Number?
This is a four-digit identification number for the substance (e.g., UN 1263 for Paint). Dangerous goods logistics rules require this number to appear on all documentation and packaging.
Safety in Focus
Our professional approach and the quality of completed projects are a great foundation for long-term and productive cooperation.
Safety in Focus
Attention to Detail: An open orange plate on the truck is a signal to all road users. Our drivers strictly observe speed limits while performing transportation of dangerous goods.
Safety in Focus
Packaging Standards: The photo shows dangerous goods labeling with hazard diamonds and handling marks (“This Way Up,” “Keep Dry”). Proper securing of drums on pallets prevents tipping and ensures validity of your cargo insurance.
